Consider two circles: the circle \( k \) with centre \( S_1 \) and radius \( 3\,\mathrm{cm} \), and the circle \( n \) with centre \( S_2 \) and radius \( 8\,\mathrm{cm} \). The distance between \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) is \( 22\,\mathrm{cm} \). Common internal tangents of the circles intersect at point \( A \). Calculate the distance of the point \( A \) from the centre \( S_1 \). (See the picture.)
\( 6\,\mathrm{cm} \)
\( 16\,\mathrm{cm} \)
\( 11\,\mathrm{cm} \)
\( 5\,\mathrm{cm} \)
